<div id="yiv1201973081">Hello again - For those of you who entertain yourselves upon occasion with refurbishing and old upright with a loose and cracked soundboard, I've come up with a quick and easy method of regluing the ribs to the soundboard before shimming that really seems to do the trick. I don't believe I've ever seen it done this way before (that doesn't mean it hasn't been done before - I just haven't seen it done [or don't remember seeing it done, which at my age may be a more accurate way to put it]).<div>
<br></div><div>Anyway, <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.pianopromoproductions.com/resources/Schiller%202%20hi%20res.pdf">click here</a> (I hope the link works) for a photo set that highlights the process. The soundboard of the piano in the photos is a 1000% more vibrant now than it was before the procedure was done. Chuck</div>
